During their visit, both Marsha de Cordova and Polly Moore were given a first-hand look at the remarkable progress our students have made.

The visitors were not only impressed by the students' musical talents but were equally taken aback by the students' eloquence and enthusiasm when speaking about how the funding has helped them grow as musicians. They spoke passionately about how the investment in new instruments and resources has enabled them to improve their playing and deepen their love for music.

Marsha de Cordova praised the initiative, stating that it is fantastic to see how the funding is being used to nurture young talent and inspire creativity. Polly Moore echoed these sentiments, highlighting the importance of investing in the arts to foster well-rounded individuals.

The visit concluded with a short performance, where students demonstrated their progress and dedication. It was a proud moment for everyone involved, and a testament to the power of community support in shaping the future of our students.
